National Highways Authority Of India [NHAI] — the potholes have increased on nh47

Address:

Surendranagar, Gujarat, 363421

It was on 8th september at 11 pm, i was traveling on nh47 i. E from rajkot to ahmedabad with my wife and my brother. As we started seeing more and more potholes on the road, i decided to drive slowly on average of 50 kmph. We reached a point near a village limdi which sits exactly in the middle of rajkot and ahmedabad. We bumped into an pothole so big that it totally broke both my left side tyre making the car undrivable. Now we were stuck on a dark, road were there were no lights and not even a single building to see. We decided to call the road side assistance but they said that they cannot fix my car as it was sunday and they did not have mechanics to fix it. One guy even said that he cannot fix because i owned a hyundai car and he would only come if it was a maruri suzuki car. Imagine being stuck in a broke car in the middle of a dark night with no support at all. We tried calling many helplines but everything was useless. Few of the bikers were staring at us while they were going on the road. That made my wife really uncomfortable and frightened. So after waiting for about 2 hours on the dark road, a police car was passing by and stopped to ask us about the problem. We described everything and generously they told us that they will help us. We took out both the tyres and loaded them into the police car and my brother went with them to look for garage on highway while me and my wife were standing near the car. The police also gave us their stick incase we faced any emergencies. This was the best help that we recieved. I have only one suggestion, the rajkot ahmedabad highway is a busy road and these potholes are making our lives miserable. We are co operating with your laws for safety and you should too. Please fix the road so that it can be a smooth and safe ride. The garage guy also told us that it was good that we were driving at 50kmph, incase the speed would have been higher then we would have ended up crashing the car. The location is mentioned below exactly. It is on nh47 rajkot ahmedabad highway. The potholes are really huge and dangerous.
